Koho Logistics

Koho Logistics was founded in 2015 in Chicago with a specific focus on making LTL freight more accessible and transparent for small and mid-sized businesses. In a segment historically dominated by opaque carrier tariffs and manual quoting processes, Koho built a digital platform that allows shippers to compare LTL rates from multiple carriers, book shipments online, and track freight in real time — all without calling a rep. This self-service orientation made Koho attractive to e-commerce companies, direct-to-consumer brands, and manufacturers that ship frequent but relatively small loads.

By the early 2020s, Koho had expanded beyond LTL into dry van truckload brokerage, broadening its service offering for existing customers that also needed full truckload capacity. The company has grown steadily and now generates an estimated $80 million in annual gross revenue, placing it in the mid-tier of the North American freight brokerage market. Koho remains privately held and independent, which gives it flexibility in pricing and platform investment without the pressures of public market reporting.

Koho's core value proposition is straightforward: fast, transparent LTL pricing for SMB shippers who don't have the volume or resources to negotiate direct carrier contracts. Shippers running a mix of LTL and occasional truckload, and who prefer a digital interface over phone-based quoting, will find Koho's platform well-suited to their needs. The company does not focus on temperature-controlled, flatbed, intermodal, or cross-border freight, so shippers with complex or specialized requirements should evaluate broader brokers.
